World gold price today June 12, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 a.m. on June 12, Vietnam time, was 3,333.1 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 14.56 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,200 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 109.18 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 9.62 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Gold prices rose slightly after the US released lower-than-expected inflation data, raising expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates as early as September. However, gold prices fell shortly after Donald Trump said the trade deal with China was complete, pending final approval.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.43%, after rising as much as 1% during the session. US gold futures also rose 0.5%, to $3,358.80/ounce.

The main driver behind the gold price increase was the US consumer price index (CPI) which rose just 0.1% in May, lower than the forecast of 0.2%. Year-on-year, inflation reached 2.4%, slightly higher than the previous month (2.3%) but still lower than the expectation (2.5%).

Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, also rose more slowly than expected, rising just 0.1% versus the 0.3% forecast. Core inflation has been 2.8% over the past 12 months, below the 2.9% expected by analysts.

Low inflation data has pushed the dollar and U.S. bond yields lower, supporting gold prices, according to metals trader Tai Wong. He said this could prompt the Fed to accelerate its rate-cutting plans. Currently, the market is pricing in a roughly 68% chance of a rate cut in September, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

On the trade front, US President Donald Trump announced that the US and China have reached an agreement in which China will supply magnets and rare earth minerals, and the US will allow Chinese students to study at its universities. The agreement still needs to be approved by President Trump and President Xi Jinping to officially take effect.

The market is now waiting for the US Producer Price Index (PPI) data, scheduled to be released on Thursday, right before the Fed's two-day policy meeting on June 17-18. Investors are also waiting for the results of this meeting to have more direction for gold prices.

In other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.7% to $36.32 an ounce. Platinum rose 3.8% to $1,268.12, its highest since 2021. Palladium, meanwhile, rose 1.1% to $1,072.25 an ounce.

Gold Price Forecast

According to expert Tai Wong, if gold prices can surpass the recent high of $3,403/ounce, it will be a positive signal for further upside. However, if economic data is good but prices do not rebound strongly, the market may enter a short-term correction.

According to ANZ Research, in the short term, gold prices may move sideways in the accumulation zone before continuing a new increase, with a target of up to 3,600 USD/ounce by the end of the year.

Technically, August gold futures remain in a short-term uptrend. The next target for bulls is to push prices above the strong resistance at $3,427.70 per ounce, while bears hope to push prices below $3,250. The nearest resistance is currently at $3,370.40, while the nearest support is at $3,335.40.

Gold prices are expected to fluctuate strongly in the coming sessions due to the complicated developments in the global geopolitical and economic situation. Many factors can strongly affect market sentiment, especially escalating tensions at global hotspots and the progress of trade negotiations between major powers.

In Eastern Europe, Russia is carrying out a series of airstrikes across Ukraine in retaliation for drone attacks from Kiev. The targets include Ukrainian military factories, warehouses, energy facilities and defense companies. These developments have further heightened tensions in the region, increasing demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.

Meanwhile, trade negotiations between the US and China are drawing much attention from investors. In a post published on Truth Social on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said the trade deal with China was done, adding that it was subject to final approval by him and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"We are getting 55% tariffs in total, China is getting 10%. The relationship is great! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!" Gold prices immediately reacted lower after the news, reflecting the fragility of current market sentiment.

According to Han Tan, a market analyst at Exinity Group, it is understandable that gold prices will continue to rise. As long as global trade tensions show no signs of easing or remain high, gold will remain a safe choice for many investors. This could help gold prices maintain their upward momentum or at least limit the sharp decline in the current volatile context.
